Published: May 2020

Nickel-catalyzed reductive addition of phosphonodienes to aldehydes (the Mori-Tamaru reaction) gives hydroxy vinyl phosphonates in good yields with excellent control of the relative stereochemistry. Base-induced cyclization of the vinyl phosphonates yields phosphonomethyl-substituted tetrahydrofurans. Inversion of the hydroxyl stereochemistry by Mitsunobu reaction and then cyclization yields a different set of phosphonomethyl-substituted tetrahydrofuran diastereoisomers.
